PRESS RELEASES

In California, if you play and win, your name is public record. We’re taking the mystery out of winning because more and more people are willing to tell their stories, and others are still allowing us to take their memorable and eventful photos.

Why is this important? Seeing real Californians holding that oversized check sends a clear signal: people are winning every day! We also like to showcase our winners because it helps illustrate that we maintain the highest level of integrity in our games, thereby insuring public confidence in the Lottery. Regardless of whether it’s $100 or $100,000, winning happens all the time here at the California Lottery. Say hello to some of the “lucky ones” below!

SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Don’t believe us? Click here to see how much money the California Lottery has contributed to public schools. From 1985 when we sold our first ticket, to the 2013-14 Fiscal Year, we’ve sent more than $28 billion to public schools. Sounds like a lot, right? Well, after it’s divided between every public school in the state, it really is a modest amount. But this is largely unrestricted funding, so teachers and administrators are finding highly effective instructional ways to spend it – making this modest contribution a big deal!
